Who must stop armed ethnic conflict in Macedonia and the region?
Ending Conflict in Macedonia

One would think the Balkan tragedies of the past 10 years would be the strongest deterrent to anyone, in Macedonia, Kosovo or both, planning another regional conflict to reach political goals.
The men who know better must say no to those pressuring them to take up arms. As for women who might urge others into a new war, people who know better should ask women whether they are prepared to grab guns and plant landmines themselves.
In Macedonia as well as in Kosovo, ethnic and community leaders with true courage must talk their people down from this cliff.
